Moberg lived the last years of his life with depression, and eventually he committed suicide by drowning himself in a lake outside his house.

Famous quotes containing the word life:

    I love long life better than figs.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest. What force has a multitude? They can only force me who obey a higher law than I.... I do not hear of men being forced to live this way or that by masses of men. What sort of life were that to live?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
